I went to the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy and they pulled our entire class into a "sensitivity day" one Saturday. They had about three hippy-dippy feminists who were lecturing military types (and merchant sailors, no less) on how to be sensitive. One of the "excerises" was to write on the board 10 things we could do to be more sensitive. One group wrote things along the lines of: Drink from the milk carton, leave the toilet seat up, stare at other women when you're with your girlfriend, etc. The moderators were all worked up in a lather about how terrible it was. The whole class was roaring with laughter.

LOL. I had a similar experience in such a class. Some of the ethnic groups were making fun at their own expense. Namely the Irish guys who were calling themselves drunkin Mc's etc...

BTW: What's with the toilet seat thing anyway. Half the people on the planet are capable of determining the position of the seat and adjusting it according to their needs; what the hell is wrong with the other half of the planets population??

which only proves, we of the Anti-PC must be vocal and point out absurdity with absurdity.

No PC thinker is the intelectual equal of evel the slowest human being. PC is nothing more than 1984 doublespeak. PC is a way to eleminate conservative words from you vocabulary so you can't even express conservative ideas. If the feminist PC MODERATES have their way, a Gentleman saying "you look nice today" can only be express with the words "crimethink".

Time for all conservatives to be VOCAL and EXPRESSIVE.

What the hell is USMMA doing pushing "sensitivity" classes? Jeez...times-are-a-changing! By the way, do they still have that room with all the playboys from as back at 1965?
